Point of view - 1st person....the text uses pronouns such as "I", "me", and "my". Complete Subjects, complete predicates, compound subjects, compound predicates, and correcting run-on sentences. A complex sentence combines a complete thought with an incomplete thought. The incomplete thought can come before or after the complete thought. Examples: (Before) Believing that nobody was listening, Allan started singing along with the radio. (After) He sang loudly until his friends burst out laughing. A simple sentence can be combined with an incomplete thought using words and phrases such as the following: after, how, unless, although, if, until, as, in case, when, as if, now that, whenever, as though, once, where, because, since, which, before, so that, while, even though, that, who A compound sentence is made up of two simple sentences joined by a comma and a conjunction. (remember ,and ,but ,or) Example: Yesterday I saw a wild turkey, and I even saw a deer.
